nod the journeymen still exists, and as several
of the masters have atill adhered to their reao
lntion not to comply with the demands of the
operatives by adopting the new price list,
there is no telling bow much longer the strike
will exist. There have..been no farther de
velopments of importance, although the ouch*
I>er of men on strike is gradually diminish*
ing, it being estimated that there are at pre*
sent about HO out of employment. The com
mittee of the Journeymen Bootmakers’ Union
had decided to notify those men who remain
at work at the shops where strikes are in
existence that unless they leave on or before
Monday next their names will be posted on a
black list. It is also the intention of the
union to call upon the working men of Mel
bourne to ask their assistance by refusing to
deal with the manufacturers who nre opposed
to the demaud 'of the operatives. The firms
: who'are opposed to the adoption of the new
price-list* comprise Messrs R. White, Young
street, Fitzroy; W. Lang (Ezywakiu), Colling*
wood; King, Qoddle street. Colling wood; G.
White, Swan street, Richmond; Yager aud
